§ MR. WALRONDTo ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will set out the purposes and objects for which loans have been guaranteed by the Imperial Government to self-governing Colonies, at what rate such loans were issued and guaranteed, and what sum thus guaranteed still remains outstanding.
(Answered by Mr. Asquith.)—
§ The net amount outstanding is in each case taken to be the gross sum outstanding, less the nominal amount of the securities held on account of Sinking Fund.
